Yesterday’s Fed meeting confirmed a hawkish shift. Turkey aside, we doubt that this is likely to cause major strains in the balance of payments of most EMs. But the Fed’s hawkish turn may cause domestic monetary policy to be tightened slightly more quickly in a handful of EMs (e.g. Mexico, South Africa, India) which could weigh on economic recoveries.
